The larger your business grows the more critical efficient management and clear planning becomes. Arc is able to source support to manage the process of taking your product to market, forward planning, identifying risks, milestones and implementing gateways. We are able to take over any managemerial overhead headache to allow you to focus on your core activities, i.e. product refinement, finding customers and forging relationships.

Design

You may have a functioning prototype, but its incased in an uninteresting off-the-shelf box. We can connect you with people who have many years experience working on 3D product design and we can work through a refined process to make your product ready to be taken to a manufacturer.

Allow us to find the right expertise for you, to convert your MVP into a manufacturable product, to plan for productionisation, source a manufacturer, prepare documentation, build manufacturing packages and perform the critical cash flow planning, invoice financing and governmental grants to get your product made.
